I'm glad to see Heme there. In case you guys didn't know he finished 3rd in WCG Russia, while only 1st and 2nd places got paid trip to the US. Russian BW community somehow managed to collect $3000 to pay for Heme's trip. I hope he delivers, since he has to practice only vP matchup.

Go go Heme!

go white-ra ! His group looks like one of the easiest to advance as number 1 in, since there is no koreans there. Sen will probably give him a hard fight though.

i wonder if jaedong will call the japanese players 'like playing a computer'

a repeat of jaedong vs zim?
that would be hillarious; probably not that bad though. I'd say KurOa is around B-? unfortunately, still no match for anyone in that group. Best of luck to him I guess...

oh my Group C

Kinda feel bad for the three good foreigners (well, certainly before they started SC2) all in Group D too - couldn't they have split them up?

I thougt the Ukraine wouldn't send SCBW players? Did WhiteRa pay his flight by himself? And does he practice BW? I thought he would be completely into SC2? Perhaps thats because his SC2 results aren't as good lately?

Kinda tough to decide, because I don't know how much BW they have been playing

Predictions:
A. Jeadong and F91
B. Kal and Lx
C. Flash and Infernal
D. BRAT_OK and Sen

Is it just me, or are these groups a lot smaller than previous WCGs? Anyway, I have the feeling the gap between foreigners and koreans has become even larger after the release of SC2, since the koreans here kept up the same training regime for BW while Europeans were being corrupted by the SC2 campaign...

In all games across the board (with the cell phone game being the exception) the amount of players has dropped significantly, there are fewer countries competing and those that are are sending fewer players. Starcraft and warcraft 3 were hit the hardest due to SC2's release.
